For this family, specificity includes the hand. A claim that names the wrong side is a coding error, even when the rest of the description matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ICD-10 Revisions: Stay Updated or Fall Behind\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bqAyb-BCA0w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-code-details-at-a-glance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code details at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table below is the quick reference for S62.360G.

K applies when imaging shows no healing progression at a point where union should already have occurred.

The second metacarpal is more rigid than the fourth and fifth, so neck fractures here are less common than the classic boxer&#8217;s fracture. Nondisplaced cases are managed conservatively, which is why subsequent encounter coding runs across several visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anatomy:<\/strong> The neck of the metacarpal is the narrow region just proximal to the metacarpal head. A fracture here typically angulates volarly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Displacement status:<\/strong> Nondisplaced means the fragments stay in anatomic alignment. The displaced neck fracture of the same bone and hand is S62.330G.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laterality:<\/strong> This code names the right hand. The same injury on the left hand is S62.361G, and the two are not interchangeable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why delayed healing matters:<\/strong> Splinting and casting depend on adequate immobilization and patient compliance. Delayed healing often reflects poor compliance, nutritional deficiency, or a comorbidity such as diabetes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clinical significance:<\/strong> Delayed healing may prompt extended immobilization, a physical therapy referral, or a surgical consultation. Each of those changes the CPT codes paired with the visit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-laterality-variants-right-hand-left-hand-and-unspecified\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laterality variants: Right hand, left hand, and unspecified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ICD-10-CM builds laterality into the sixth character for metacarpal fractures. There is no unspecified-hand option once the note names the second metacarpal. When the record fails to identify the bone, coding falls back to the other or unspecified metacarpal codes instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;margin:1.5em 0 2em;box-shadow:0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Base code<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Bone and side<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">With delayed healing<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Billable?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">S62.360<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Second metacarpal, right hand<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">S62.360G<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">S62.361<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Second metacarpal, left hand<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">S62.361G<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">S62.368<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Other metacarpal bone<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">S62.368G<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">S62.369<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Unspecified metacarpal bone<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">S62.369G<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Yes, but only when the bone is genuinely undocumented<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use S62.369G only when the documentation truly fails to name the metacarpal.

The displaced neck fracture of the same bone and hand is S62.330G, and the two are not interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coders who work across several code families keep one verification habit. It holds for a metacarpal code and for a wrist code such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/diagnostic-codes\/icd-10-code-s62011a\/\">S62.011A<\/a>.

S62.360G?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.360G is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code. It covers a nondisplaced fracture of the neck of the second metacarpal bone, right hand, at a subsequent encounter with delayed healing. The code is valid under the FY2026 edition, effective October 1, 2025.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431973\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is S62.360G a billable ICD-10 code?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. S62.360G is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for HIPAA-covered electronic transactions. It can be submitted when the documentation names the right hand and supports a delayed healing encounter.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431974\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the left-hand equivalent of S62.360G?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.361G. The sixth character carries both the bone and the side, so the second metacarpal has a right-hand code and a left-hand code. Submitting S62.360G for a left-hand injury is a laterality error that payers routinely deny.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431975\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the 7th character G in fracture ICD-10 codes?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The 7th character G indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture that is healing more slowly than clinically expected. It is distinct from D, which covers routine healing, and K, which covers nonunion. G needs explicit physician documentation of delayed healing.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431976\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between S62.360A, S62.360D, and S62.360G?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">All three describe the same injury, a nondisplaced right second metacarpal neck fracture. S62.360A is the initial encounter for active treatment. S62.360D is a subsequent encounter with healing on track. S62.360G is a subsequent encounter where the physician documents delayed healing.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431977\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is S62.350G the displaced version of S62.360G?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. S62.350G is a nondisplaced fracture of the shaft of the second metacarpal bone, right hand, so it describes a different part of the bone. The displaced neck fracture of the same bone and hand is S62.330G.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431978\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is delayed healing in fracture ICD-10 coding?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Delayed healing means the fracture is healing more slowly than the expected clinical timeline. The physician must state &#8218;delayed healing&#8216; or &#8218;delayed union&#8216; in the record, since a coder cannot select G from clinical inference. Imaging findings that support the status should be referenced in the note.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522431979\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What CPT codes are commonly used with S62.360G?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Common pairings include 99213 or 99214 for evaluation and management at follow-up. Others are 29125 for a static short arm splint, 29085 for hand and forearm casting, and 73130 for hand X-ray imaging.
